LITE-ON 24X DVD Writer 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model iHAS-324-98B

Pros: Another solid offering from Lite-On. Copied a disk on a similar spec Samsung drive, then the same disk on the LiteOn. The latter was 20% faster. Also the drive seems a bit quieter than previous Lite-On dirves I have owned.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Included Nero software works, no issues, with Windows 7 64-bit. It lets you do a custom install so you can get rid of all the junk you will never use. Probably worth a few bucks more for the retail version. SATA is nice--eliminates the CD sound cable totally.

Pros: It works fine, it's quiet compared to some other drives, it looks pretty good. The included SATA cable was long enough to reach the SATA port. The price and free shipping made this drive a nice buy.

Cons: Drive would not boot from disk while configured in AHCI mode, Configured the BIOS to run it in IDE mode it boots fine, this build was with a GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H mainboard, it seems more then A few SATA drives have similar issue's. There may be a firmware update to fix this, however on this build it works just fine in this configuration so I have not checked for an update yet.

Overall Review: The Nero Software seems to work fine but as other have stated there is a lot of bloat on the new version. I would buy this drive again, price and performance make it a nice buy.

Pros: Works fantastic with Burner MAX firmware; quick flash with no hiccups.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Overall Review: If you're looking for a 360 backup burner, this is the model to get. I would use as my primary DVD drive as well, but I'm stuck with IDE as all my SATA ports full and I need to unplug a HDD to burn with this drive. Not a con for normal people that don't have 6 hard drives, though.

Pros: Ridiculously inexpensive, Windows7 64bit compliant, Works GREAT! Don't let the price fool you.

Cons: Really no downside. I have Lightscribe on my other drive and I have never used it. A Sharpy usually does the job for me.

Pros: Decent DVD-RW for the price. Fairly quiet compared to other drives. Plus its a SATA drive.

Cons: none really.

Overall Review: I was a little bit sceptical about buying this retail boxed set (i never buy OEM when it comes to electronic hardware) do to the sketchy reviews but after looking around a bit and seeing that i couldnt get anything cheaper then this i figured i'd spring cause i needed something for the new windows 7 upgrade. I have to admit its better then what the reviews make it out to be.

Pros: It's quiet, it reads pretty fast, and it works. And this retail version comes with everything you need like sata cable, mounting-screws, a useless installation guide, and a software cd (NERO Suite). Nothing much to say.

Cons: Price. Now that blue-ray is becoming more popular, these regular cd-rw drives should come down in price. thirty dollars is somewhat steap. Then again, I am a bit of a cheap-skate.

Overall Review: If you don't need a blue-ray and you need a cd drive, just buy this already! This is a good brand (all my drives are lite-on), and this retail version has everything you need. Thanks newegg.

Pros: Does what its assigned to do.. Burns My backup copies sucessfully..And burns some dvd's and cd's nicely..

Cons: No Cons..

Overall Review: You get what you paid for..best burner for xgd3 backups.. and dvd,data and music burning.. Really recommend it

Pros: Works as advertised. Includes a SATA cable.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Works as it should. Was the cheapest non-OEM burner I could get my hands on.
